A request came though from one of our members to form a thread for discussions about fires. Please put general discussions in here and not in the incident threads. The latter should be used for facts/information relevant to the specific incident. Cheers!

---------- ADMIN EDIT ----------
This thread is for general discussions about fires. It is NOT for complaining about DFES/FESA management decisions, or engaging in any kind of "us vs them" attacks between career and volunteer fire fighters. Such topics are not welcome on WARSUG - not in this thread, or any other.

If you don't agree with a decision that someone in DFES/FESA has made, or you're narky about why some other mob were turned out and you weren't, please address that within your brigade hierarchy, not on here. Posts along these lines that are deemed to be unacceptable will be removed by the moderation team.

The Swamps are not officially zone 2 response but expect your pager to go off if there is one in the swamps, even tho the 2 big ones are not in your area, you will be there smithy. You better be anyway lol. Will no doubt be dual turnout if they go up, and expect helitacks there too as I ain't going in.
